Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 To the Editor: Rickettsiosis due to Rickettsia felis is an emerging disease that has been reported worldwide (1). Fever, headache, myalgia, and macular rash have been attributed to R. felis infection in humans (1). In South America, R. felis infection in fleas (mostly Ctenocephalides spp.) has been reported only in Brazil, Peru, and Uruguay (2–3 ...
